Cambridge MBA candidates launch climate legacy commitment

Two Cambridge MBA candidates at Cambridge Judge Business School have launched the Climate Legacy Commitment, an initiative to mobilise MBA students who pledge to be part of a global movement to encourage business to meaningfully confront the climate challenge.

The initiative founded by Cambridge MBA students Collin G Janich and Peter Golding (both MBA 2023) was kicked off on 11 March at an event at Pembroke College, University of Cambridge, that was attended by, among others, the Interim Dean of Cambridge Judge, Professor Gishan Dissanaike.

“When we choose MBA students, we don’t only look at how much they will receive as a salary increase at the end of their studies; we are also looking at the positive impact they will make on the world and society,” Professor Dissanaike said. “And here we are, seeing 2 of our MBA students making an impact even before they graduate.”

“This initiative is more than a pledge,” said Collin Janich. “It is a call to action for future business leaders to engage in transformative learning, develop collaborative networks, and drive innovative climate solutions.”

Initially, MBA candidates from 15 MBA programmes are invited to take the free pledge, which has already been signed by more than 40% of the 2023/24 Cambridge MBA cohort at Cambridge Judge.
